1. DJ

Whether 9alba.com it’s for small parties in private clubs or a full DJ set on the main dance floor of a major club, DJ's need the right equipment to create a musical atmosphere. They also need professional inputs to connect their equipment to the sound system at their venue.

Generally, a DJ will start out with a simple all-in-one controller and mixer setup that may include built in speakers for the PA system and booth monitors. This may be fine for beginners, but if you want to advance to higher paying gigs, you will need to invest in more advanced gear.

High end DJ controllers and mixers come with professional inputs that allow the DJ to input microphones (singer or instruments), phono (turntables) and line (CDJ's). The send and return channels on some equipment will also enable external effects units to be routed into your performance for a unique sound.

When buying used equipment, it’s important to look for a clean and functional appearance. If you’re purchasing from a pawn shop or another seller, ask to see the unit turned on and to note where scratches or blemishes are. You’ll also need to make sure the equipment you’re purchasing has been fully tested by a qualified professional.
3. Club Promoter

A club promoter is a nightclub event planner, manager and marketing professional who coordinates and publicizes events like concerts, open mics and themed parties. They can work on-staff for a bar, club or venue or independently as an independent contractor. Club promoters are skilled at networking, sales and marketing and have the motivation and stamina to work long hours.

Most club promoters have a personal website that provides more information about their career, background and skillset. Many of these websites feature a contact form where you can inquire about working with them. You can also find club promoters through popular social media platforms, such as Instagram, where they typically use hashtags to describe their style and connect with party guests.

You can also find club promoters through a variety of nightclub and pool party guest lists. Some of these guest lists are hosted by the club itself, while others are managed by independent club promoters that specialize in attracting specific types of parties and attendees. For example, a party host might offer to connect you with a promoter for an exclusive bottle service package or a crowded ratchet-themed event.

Another easy way to find a club promoter is by asking staff members at the venue. Doormen/door women, bouncers and waitresses are often familiar with every club promoter at a particular party and will likely be able to connect you with one upon request.
5. Club Manager

You know, the guy who walks around at a club and buys everyone $14 drinks with his prepaid drink tickets. This is a great job for stoners, because it lets them get high at the club while annoying everybody else. But it’s not a good job for anybody who has any empathy, because you have to be tough enough to tell that guy at the bar that his tan isn’t good enough and that you’re out of limes. You also have to ration out the free drinks so that you don’t run out of them. That’s a lot to handle for one person.
6. Musician

In addition to the usual options like Amazon, eBay and Craigslist, new hyperlocal apps such as 5miles and Close5 (owned by eBay) can connect you with local people interested in buying music gear. These apps allow you to communicate and see photos immediately on your mobile device, and many sellers have a reputation rating. It is also a good idea to check the reseller return policy and only meet in well-lit public places. Physical music stores like Sam Ash and Guitar Center are another option for selling used musical instruments.

Over the last two years, during global lockdowns, many musicians found ways to generate additional revenue online when live shows were canceled due to pandemic closures.
